    Oh dear, I hope we aren't related.

    'Who are you' indeed!
    Maybe it is your age, your status or your health that makes you so grumpy and bitter. But you might feel better if you stopped slinging personal insults at the person you are debating with.....

    Anyway, I admit things have changed, improved even, over the decade since Macpherson. But when Black people can walk and drive without being singled out for stopping and questionning regularly on the flimsiest of pretexts, then I'll say things are really changing. I'm hoping the new Met Commissioner lives up to his word and makes that difference.

    It is only our friends we choose. Relatives we're stuck with!

    But I don't think either of us is in much danger....

    The fact is that black people commit more crime per capita than white people. Therefore to prevent more crime black people should be stopped and searched more.

    The fact is that a higher proportion of people in poor areas (areas economic migrants naturally gravitate toward) commit more overt crime per capita than in other areas. Therefore, to prevent more crime among people in this sector, greater effort should be made to include them as useful members of society.

    So couple the above with the application of the sus laws, the fact that non-Whites are more likely to be cautioned and charged than Whites, custodial sentences are more likely to be given to non-Whites than Whites, and you have a recipe for a self perpetuating scenario so beloved by some. It also shows MacPherson's findings are still valid a decade after they were supposedly taken on board and lessons learned.

    Like I said, having a booklet doesn't make you British.

    So you're saying that more blacks are underpriveleged and poor,underpriveleged and poor people commit more crime but blacks don't commit more crime.

    I wish Einstein was still alive.
